This is a really good basic recipe. I followed the recipe exactly. Next time I plan to add some other seasonings, like thyme leaves and rosemary as I think that will take it from good to great in the flavor department. For those who commented that their pork came out dry – more liquid, less cooking time or better quality pork. I raise my own pork – supermarket pork tends to be much leaner (less fat) and therefore drier.
I followed the recipe to the letter and it came out dry. I’m going to tweak it a little bit and see if I can make it more moist and then I’ll check back.
I made this because I thought it was a strange combination of flavors. As it turned out, the meat was moist, potatoes mushy and never tasted the garlic or onions. Actually bland. Family said , ‘NO’.
I really didn’t care for it. It was like watered down bbq sauce
My kids liked it. My wife and I didn’t.
I added some sage and oregano to mine. It came out great!
It was easy and good. I will be making this again.
I made this exactly like the recipe and it was delicious, my whole family loved it, and there wasn’t any left overs!!!
We very much enjoyed this dish. Will definitely make it again, in the future I will place the roast at the bottom and surround the roast with the potatoes and garlic.
was soooo good and simple
pork was amazing. Sweet potatoes a bit bland.
Made it exactly like the recipe said. Meat was moist and done perfectly.
I adhered to the liquid & veggie modifications in the moments & thus it turned out great! I personally prefer this over rice vs pasta myself but it was a big hit with the family! I doubled the spices & would honestly go over on the meat too. I bought two packages & although I am not sure how much I got we concluded we could have used more!
Very boring dish that lacks culinary delight. Will not make it again.
I enjoyed preparing and eating it, garlic and yams, yummy.
…amazing, very tasty !!!
Didn’t like it. Meat was dry. Didn’t taste any garlic. Hopefully I can turn the pork into pulled
I LOVED THIS RECIPE. I didn’t have whole cloves so I used the minced that I had. 2 tablespoons of it and it still had the garlic taste. I will surely make it again.
I used “Slap ya’ Momma “ Cajun spice for the pork. Wonderful! Don’t forget to brown the pork well. I used pork country ribs! What a wonderful dish. Mike
Made as directed by recipe. Not as good as I expected.
vary good
